http://localhost:50070/dfshealth.jsp crash

I get often this problem that http://localhost:50070/dfshealth.jsp crashes and it doesn't show up anything.

I am running pseudo mode configuration.

One of the temporary solution which i found online was to format dfs again but this is very frustrating.

Also in

http://localhost:50030/jobtracker.jsp

Jobtracker history i get the following message

HTTP ERROR 500

Problem accessing /jobhistoryhome.jsp. Reason:

INTERNAL_SERVER_ERROR

http://localhost:50030/jobhistoryhome.jsp

I see similar problem was also observed here

Solution

If you see carefully the log of namenode

We have error as

org.apache.hadoop.hdfs.server.common.InconsistentFSStateException: Directory /tmp/hadoop-hadoop/dfs/name is in an inconsistent state: storage directory does not exist or is not accessible.

This says that following variables are not properly set

Normally this is due to the machine having been rebooted and /tmp being cleared out. You do not want to leave the Hadoop name node or data node storage in /tmp for this reason. Make sure you properly configure dfs.name.dir and dfs.data.dir to point to directories
outside of /tmp and other directories that may be cleared on boot.

The quick setup guide is really just to help you start experimenting with Hadoop. For setting up a cluster for any real use, you'll want to
follow the next guide - Cluster Setup -
http://hadoop.apache.org/common/docs/current/cluster_setup.html

So here is what i did in hadoop-site.xml added the following two properties and now its working fine

 

  <property>
        <name>dfs.name.dir</name>
        <value>/home/hadoop/workspace/hadoop_space/data_dir</value>
  </property>

  <property>
        <name>dfs.data.dir</name>
        <value>/home/hadoop/workspace/hadoop_space/name_dir</value>
  </property>
